## Abstract In this paper, a general kernel density estimator has been introduced and discussed for multivariate processes in order to provide enhanced realβtime performance monitoring. The proposed approach is based upon the concept of kernel density function, which is more appropriate to the unde

β¦ Synopsis
Multivariate kernel density estimators are known to systematically deviate from the true value near critical points of the density surface. To overcome this difficulty a method based on Rao Blackwell's theorem is proposed. Local corrections of kernel density estimators are achieved by conditioning these estimators with respect to locally sufficient statistics. The asymptotic as well as the small sample size behavior of the improved estimators are studied. Asymptotic bias and variance are investigated and weak and complete consistency are derived under mild hypothesis.

The problem of nonparametric estimation of a multivariate density function is addressed. In particular, a general class of estimators with favorable asymptotic performance (bias, variance, rate of convergence) is proposed. The proposed estimators are characterized by the flatness near the origin of
The computational cost of multivariate kernel density estimation can be reduced by prebinning the data. The data are discretized to a grid and a weighted kernel estimator is computed. We report results on the accuracy of such a binned kernel estimator and discuss the computational complexity of the
In order to construct confidence sets for a marginal density f of a strictly stationary continuous time process observed over the time interval [0, T ], it is necessary to have at one's disposal a Central Limit Theorem for the kernel density estimator f T . In this paper we address the question of n
